By John Egerton

Book Overview

Would you like to have great health and resistance to disease, boundless energy and stamina and a positive and optimistic mood? Then, having a healthy acid-alkaline balance is essential for both your health and quality of life.

Written by Susan Richards, M.D., best selling author and one of the most renowned alternative medicine experts, this incredible guide to restoring your acid-alkaline balance will literally transform your health and the quality of your life. Dr. Richards have seen the importance of having a healthy acid-alkaline balance in many thousands of her patients and this has been researched and confirmed in thousands of medical studies.

In its natural, healthy state, the human body is slightly alkaline. Virtually all of our cells and tissues contain significant amounts of alkaline substances, such as minerals, oxygen, and bicarbonate. Our blood must maintain a state of slight alkalinity for our very survival.

Almost all of our crucial bodily functions-including immunity, digestion, and cardiovascular health-as well as most of our metabolic processes and enzyme reactions require a slightly alkaline internal environment. Both peak performance and optimal health depend on the body's ability to maintain a slightly alkaline state in virtually all of our cells and tissues.

In contrast, when your cells and tissues are overly acidic, you tire easily and are often fatigued. It becomes more difficult to think clearly. You are more likely to develop a pessimistic outlook on life. Overacidity decreases your resistance to many illnesses including infectious diseases, allergies, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, heart disease, high blood pressure and even cancer. You are also more likely to suffer from chronic fatigue and tiredness.

In her incredible book, Dr. Richards shares with you how to restore your body to a state of healthy acid-alkaline balance in which your cells, tissues and organ can maintain their natural, slightly alkaline state. This is a program that has benefited many thousands of her patients and has helped to restore them to optimal health and wellness.

She then shares with you how acid-alkaline balance affects many common illnesses as well as crucial peak performance traits. This will help you to understand the important role that healthy acid-alkaline balance plays in our everyday lives. Finally, she provides you with simple self-tests as well as information on laboratory tests that your doctor can order that will give you an indication of your acid-alkaline balance.

Customer Reviews

Interestingly good read

I wholeheartedly recommend the Biology for Dummies book to everyday people or prospective students in the subject matter. It provides a good review of biology down to the cells and the beginning of life continuing to the inner workings of the human body. I admit that I have not completed the book yet. It can be complex such as the Krebs cycle but keeps me interested enough to want to know more. My boyfriend, a self-proclaimed...

love the "dummy" book style

I am enjoying this book very much. It's a good refresher for me, and I bet it would be a great study guide for begining bio majors!!

A good book for making biology easier.

I found this book easier to understand then my regular required college biology textbook. Chapters on evolution and ecosystems were very interesting to me. I also would reference this book when I came across a hard topic in my college bio textbook. Donna Rae Siegfried does a good job of explaining hard topics into simplier forms to understand. I also highly recommend The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions...

Wow! Great review of core bio and chemistry concepts...

Donna does an awesome job of reviewing/explaining every concept from biology that I could think of. I took 2 bio college courses years ago and am going back to school and will be taking some advanced biology courses. I think I now understand the primary concepts better than I did while I was enrolled in the bio courses. I would recommend it.
